Named after the Japanese word for wolf, Ōkami is the side project of artist Kamī; a space where she channels her fundamental belief that sound is a sacred vessel through which communities of colour can connect in solidarity and find true liberation.

Having begun her journey as a DJ through Voices Radio, her mixes have been featured on the likes of NTS and Radio 1001. She has found her footing playing at London’s Pxssy Palace, Body Movements and with the fast-rising Half East Records collective.

While Ōkami has a deep affinity for the atmospheric and sub-heavy frequencies of 140, dnb, dubstep, grime and drill, you can often find her playfully switching gear into rich global club sounds such as dancehall, bhangra, gqom, Asian dance sub-genres, baile and ballroom with plenty of attitude.

*Hailing from Trinidad and Tobago, Viren Neel is a singer-songwriter with a penchant for retro-rock."

I am a singer-songwriter hailing from Trinidad and Tobago. I've always had a profound love for music from the 1960s to early '70s so I decided one day, after loads of covers, 10 years of guitar playing and a little bit of singing and writing experience, I'm going to make them for myself. My first song, Change, released in 2020 quickly became the 5th most listened to song on Apple Music in Trinidad and my life as an artist has been a notably thrilling one ever since. Though I typically say my music is era-based, if I had to say what genres I cover, it'd be folk, soul and rock with writing that pulls from my Trinidadian perspective. I so can't wait for you all to hear me at Farrago!
